Many fans of the Seattle Seahawks were excited when reports emerged last week that the Cleveland Browns were looking at potentially releasing wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. following repeated requests from the receiver to be traded. The release, of course, came to fruition on Monday, with Beckham hitting the waiver wire on Tuesday and some fans convinced that because of the combination of their cap space and the team’s position in the waiver order, Beckham would end the day as a Seahawk.
That, obviously, didn’t come to pass, and on Friday, seemingly out of the blue, the division rival Los Angeles Rams swooped in late and secured the services of Beckham for the remainder of the season.
